Will CBD Show Up on a Drug Test?

CBD oil comes from the marijuana plant which can make you leery about using it for medicinal purposes such as arthritis, anxiety, and many other ailments the oil alleviates. You may have a great job that randomly drug tests you which you wish to pass without them finding any amounts of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) in your blood. The truth is that CBD (Cannabidiol) is not psychoactive like THC is. Pure CBD without any THC cannot get you high and will not show up on a drug test since they are not even testing for CBD

The problem that you may experience with CBD oils is that many contain traces of THC, so all the properties of cannabis can work together more efficiently. “The Entourage Effect” is thought to help enhance the medicinal benefits that CBD oil has to offer. This theory is based on using all of the components of the plant together to create a synergistic effect for a more beneficial outcome than any one component cannot provide on their own.

Products with the entourage effect only carry around .05 percent THC or less which would probably not show up on a drug test without consuming ungodly amounts of the CBD oil. In fact, you would have to consume anywhere from 1000 to 2000 mg of CBD oil daily, or 1-2 full bottles depending on the size, to test positive for marijuana which would really be the results of a false negative.

The only way to ensure you do not test positive for marijuana is to only use CBD products that are THC free. Finding products that are made from hemp will contain zero THC. There are distributors out there that sell THC-free CBD oil. You will have to trust the labels and the manufacturer’s on their word that everything is legitimate. Searching for a company that provides their test results and will also provide third-party test results is a good idea if you are concerned about passing a drug test. THC stays in the system for longer than most drugs do. Your urine could contain THC for around 30 days or so.

Find a reliable CBD supplier that can you give the logistics on the products they are selling and provide honest positive reviews from their customers. By doing this research, you can get an indication if you are able to use their product and still pass a drug test.
